I'd be hesitant of any deal that included Greig or Pinto. Gonna be 2 key players for us.
I think Grieg's legs are much better than what happens when Tucker and Peca collideGreig = Darcy Tucker + Mike Peca
He will be a menace to play against and put up decent points. I think he has generally been very underrated here and will be an instant fan favourite.
I know some folks are understandably excited about the poasibility of obtaining a top 6 forward or top 4 defenseman via trade. It will be costly, in terms of assets given up, to obtain such a player. I bet tht folks would be disappointed by the cost once it becomes known.I'd be hesitant of any deal that included Greig or Pinto. Gonna be 2 key players for us.
I agree. It's almost a no win situationI know some folks are understandably excited about the poasibility of obtaining a top 6 forward or top 4 defenseman via trade.

Greig is super entertaining, and I view him as a somewhat unique player who could be rather hard to replace, even if he plays his entire career as a bottom 6 forward. Losing him would be a painful price to pay, in my view.
Up front I think that's workable, I don't know that there's a realistic option on D though.I agree. It's almost a no win situation
If you start with the premise that we are looking for a top 6 or top 4 signed with some term, the cost to acquire that will be huge.
I'd rather play the UFA space and see what a Dandonov level contract gets you
Don't disagree with that.I think Grieg's legs are much better than what happens when Tucker and Peca collide
No problem giving up the price it took to get fialaI know some folks are understandably excited about the poasibility of obtaining a top 6 forward or top 4 defenseman via trade.

You might be right. That said, I am not sure that a Fiala-to-Ottawa trade would involve similar exchange of assets as a Fiala-to-LA trade.No problem giving up the price it took to get fiala
I am sure a lot of fans would be happy with that
Tend to agree.Possible … but I doubt that … but elite third liners are special .
You’ve got a hockey team when your third line is Pinto + Greig with Formenton or a Boucher or whoever
Does that mean Greig & JBD?No problem giving up the price it took to get fiala
I am sure a lot of fans would be happy with that
You're overlooking Fiala not signing here. I'm sure we could beat the offer with our pick being 7 but we weren't doing that without the extensionYou might be right. That said, I am not sure that a Fiala-to-Ottawa trade would involve similar exchange of assets as a Fiala-to-LA trade.
After all, Ottawa tried to get Fiala, right? They would have had to "beat" the LA offer to convince Minnesota make the deal with Ottawa, or maybe I am overlooking something.
As a matter of curiosity, if Ottawa traded for Fiala, would he have essentially the same contract with Ottawa that he now has with LA? If not, perhaps Fiala would have a more expensive contract with Ottawa, lowering his value to the team.
Agreed. If we are going to spend to get players, let it be salary dollars for UFAs. Keep the draft picks and better prospects.Love the way Greig plays, I would prefer they don't trade him because he is going to be a very pesky high skilled player that will be very hard to play against. Greig & Pinto together would be a very good pairing if Formenton stays with Stutzle.

This kid is going to be a Marchand-level impact player. The fact he gets thrown in to trade proposals on the regular is insane. Teams kill themselves trying to find guys like this through the draft and here's this fanbase ready to hand him over with 2-3 other A+ assets in virtually every trade proposal.
Each one of those guys will be gamers for us. So excited to see this team injected with more skillful youth. Plus they all seem to know each other and get a long. Team chemistry will be off the charts with Brady leading the way.I want to see Pinto, Grieg, and Sanderson make the team this year
Pinto and Sanderson are slam dunks IMO but Greig is probably headed to the A for a while.I want to see Pinto, Grieg, and Sanderson make the team this year
Marchand is a 90+ point winger right now. Can we temper our expectations a bit?This kid is going to be a Marchand-level impact player.
